Trump was Rodman’s boss when he appeared on two seasons of The Celebrity Apprentice

The eccentric ex-Chicago Bulls player is shown in video and photos presenting the North’s Sports Minister Kim Il Guk with a copy of the book by Trump, who was Rodman’s boss when he appeared on the “Celebrity Apprentice” reality TV show.

Rodman, wearing green nail varnish, also gave the minister a copy of “Where’s Wally? The Totally Essential Travel Collection”, along with some soap, and two autographed jerseys.

The “Where’s Wally?” series – known in the US as “Where’s Waldo?” – feature very busy cartoon pictures where the reader has to find the main character. He is often hiding in a crowd or behind objects.

A review of “The Totally Essential Travel Collection” on Amazon.co.uk says it “is a great tool for learning about different cultures, various historical events and for expanding your child’s geographical knowledge”.

Rodman arrived in the isolated North Korean capital Tuesday on a mission he said he believed US President Donald Trump would be “pretty happy” about, adding he was trying to accomplish something that “we both need”.

US officials have repeatedly said Rodman is travelling to North Korea as a private citizen, despite media speculation he is working as an unofficial emissary for Trump.

Rodman’s visit is at least his fifth trip to the Stalinist state. He was most recently there in 2014 when he attracted a deluge of criticism after being filmed singing happy birthday to his “friend for life”, leader Kim Jong-Un.

So far on his trip, according to the video footage released Thursday, Rodman has met with North Korean athletes, including watching a men’s basketball team play.

“All of you guys should be proud of yourselves, because, you know, a lot of people don’t give you guys credit, because this is such a small country, and not many people from North Korea can compete around the world,” Rodman told the North Korean athletes.
